Germany for young people – creative, diverse and lots of fun
Whether you're travelling with friends, your schoolmates or a sports club, Germany has a host of cool cities and captivating landscapes for you to discover. Shopping, the arts, nightlife and active pursuits – Germany has it all!
Young people will find that travelling to Germany is simple, safe and affordable, and there are lots of special offers. Getting around is quick and easy thanks to the excellent roads and the superb infrastructure for coach and train travel.
The choice of accommodation is also geared to the needs of young people. Germany's many youth hostels, for example, do more than just provide a bed, they also offer entertainment, activity and outdoor pursuits. A&O hostels, meanwhile, provide budget accommodation in city-centre locations. If you prefer to get closer to nature, simply bring your tent and pitch up at one of our many first-class campsites. Tips for organised youth trips are available from the German Federal Forum for Children and Youth Travel. It only lists tour operators that meet its strict quality criteria. This means that you get to have fun while your parents can sleep easy at night.
Once the accommodation is sorted, the fun can really begin. Germany's buzzing big cities are just waiting to be discovered. Go to Düsseldorf for fashion, Berlin for the music, Hamburg for art, and Munich for a great night out. The Creative Germany project captures all the latest ideas and innovations in the categories of design, fashion, architecture and art. Typical of today's Germany is the up-and-coming music scene. It covers the full spectrum of genres from rock, pop and dance to hip-hop and classical. Highlights in the festival calendar include the ever-popular Rock am Ring and Nature One – Germany's biggest festival of electronic music. Those with energy to burn can try out the latest trend sports on land, on water and in the air. For adrenaline rushes and scintillating shows visit Germany's theme parks.
Making yourself understood is not an issue either. English is widely spoken throughout Germany and many sights and attractions are offered in foreign languages. But if you are interested in learning German, you'll find internationally renowned language schools in almost every city. Alternatively, a number of universities run annual summer schools lasting several weeks. Not only do these teach you the language, they also introduce you to the German way of life.
For a more intensive learning experience, why not stay for a whole year? Working as a live-in au pair is a perfect opportunity for this. If you like children and you want to perfect your German, find out more here.

So I'm showing a Winter outfit for a change.
I just love the fur accents on this coat. All the material is great, the coat itself is in a type of velvet/velveteen with the fur trim including the hood!
Plus the coat actually fits pretty well too. The sleeves are cut full-length (I hate when sleeves are too short because it happens so often for me!).
Do you like my boots, I love them. They're such a tall platform, I'm just so giant in them (but it's cool). :3

It's unfortunate that there are misconceptions about bankruptcy, from the consumers' point of view.
When the news went out that ORCHARD SUPPLY HARDWARE had filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, there was a buzz about the store closing.
Under this kind of bankruptcy — there are different kinds — the company is trying to get on its feet again.
In this case, a plan was worked out so that Lowe's Home Improvement would purchase some of the stores — 60 of 91 — which would help OSH out with cash and management.
In a letter on the company's website, OSH President Mark Baker basically said his goal was to keep the stores open and operating, under the same identity and with the same environment.
Chico's OSH could be in good shape. What are its local competitors — Lowe's and Home Depot — are in south Chico. I won't even mention Collier's Hardware because it's in a category of its own (and a good one).
Only time will tell about the local store's future, but I get the feeling everything will work out.
It's not often that a local employer has a chunk of open jobs, but that's the case for UNITEDHEALTH GROUP.
The company, which has a call center in Chico, still has a handful of openings for what it calls customer care professionals.
Basically, their job is to answer questions over the phone in regards to medical insurance coverage.
Company spokesperson Maryann Marino said the Chico office on East 20th Street by WINCO is looking for about 20.
The national company got a pharmacy contract that will be handled in Chico.
Chosen applicants go through a multi-week training course to become aware of processes and products. These are full-time jobs, with benefits, so they're plums in this area.
Applicants can swing by the Chico office at 2080 E. 20th St., or check out www.unitedhealthgroup.com
Be aware that the door could be locked and you have to knock.
It wouldn't be too hard to guess which are the three largest employers in Chico, but when it comes to the specific number of workers, that could be a game of sorts.
So, here they are, courtesy of the city.
ENLOE MEDICAL CENTER has 2,581 employees. CHICO STATE UNIVERSITY has 1,800 on its staff. And CHICO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT employs 1,300.
After that, the list drops into the triple digits, with the fourth position held by SIERRA NEVADA BREWING CO. at 471.
That came from an Economic Development Committee meeting last week.
In case you were following the discussion, the committee was going to talk about whether it should shift to a quarterly meeting basis. It meets monthly now.
According to city planner SHAWN TILLMAN, a decision was delayed because a member was missing. That discussion will be taken up again at the July 24 meeting.

Interview with Mark Amerika
Amerika describes himself as a "thoughtographer", an "artist-medium", a "fictional philosopher", a "remixologist", a "network conductor", a wanderer who constantly changes identities and roles in a fragmentary world where time acquires an a-synchronic and non real dimension. By trying to express the complexity and the interest of contemporary digital reality, he delves into different aspects of himself and draws on elements and traits that he transfers to the characters of his works, by using the media, the technological platforms of our time. Developing projects on the net, filming with mobile phones, remixing common moments and figures of today's culture in a VJ-like audiovisual rhythm, Amerika redefines the characteristics of today's culture and opens up the possibilities for new interpretations and thoughts from the audience itself. -- "UNREALTIME" at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens

Power Balance Bracelets a Bust
On October 21st, 2010, members of the Independent Investigations Group www.iigwest.org , 15 volunteers, and former Olympic gymnast Dominique Dawes conducted a test of a product called Power Balance bracelets ($29.95 online) at the Center for Inquiry-Los Angeles. Dominique was there with Yahoo News which did a story and shot some video of our test.
Power Balance claims that the holograms on their bracelets work with the body's alleged (my word) energy field and improves strength, flexibility and balance by "optimizing the body's natural energy flow." I won't speculate about how this device might work as I am in the Ray Hyman school that says let's establish that it actually does work before trying to figure out how it works.
To support their claims, the company relies heavily on testimonials from blue-chip pro athletes like Lamar Odom of the L.A. Lakers and Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls. Odom and others are paid to endorse the product, and do wear them during games.
Power Balance, LLC, also uses highly subjective applied kinesiology tests to demonstrate the bracelets working. (One person analyzes another person's resistance and balance by applying pressure in various ways.) Watch this video to see how the company tests the bracelets.
This applied kinesiology method of testing the bracelet's effectiveness is problematic and full of flaws. There is no way to know from videos like this how much pressure the tester is exerting, whether the technique used to apply the pressure is identical each time, or whether the resistance from the person being tested is the same each time. And most people's flexibility seems to improve from their first stretch to their second stretch regardless of whether they are wearing the bracelet. (I invite you to try this for yourself using no bracelet.)
Also, the people being tested may unconsciously change their own resistance when they know the bracelet is on and think it should be helping. Indeed, the psychological influence of believing the bracelet will help may be the only real effect Power Balance can claim. Any athlete knows that confidence is an asset.
To remove this suggestive influence of the bracelets, we decided to test 15 volunteers and Dominique Dawes on a brief obstacle course that included a 16′ balance beam, a figure-8-course run with two 30 lb dumbbells, and a stretch test. We taped up the bracelets so that none of the volunteers ever knew whether they were wearing a real Power Balance bracelet or one that had had the holograms removed. The power of suggestion was therefore eliminated.
In random order, each of the 16 volunteers went through the course 4 times – once with the real bracelet on and 3 times with the bracelets that had no holograms. (By the way, the test was double blind – none of the testers or volunteers had any idea when or if they were wearing a real bracelet until well after the test was over.)
By the end of the test, each of the 4 bracelets we used (3 empty ones and one genuine) had been carried through the course a total of 16 times. (We spread the bracelets equally among the volunteers through the 4 rounds of trials to insure that no bracelet had a numerical advantage at any given time.)
So what happened?
We're working on a full report that will be released in the near future, but I can say this:
If the one genuine Power Balance bracelet had an intrinsic value that really does confer better balance, flexibility and strength on the user, we should have seen cumulatively better scores when people wore it. When compared to the 3 "dummy" bracelets, the real one should have stood out with lower times and better flexibility.
That did not happen.
The scores between the 4 bracelets were very close together – exactly what you would expect to see if there was no significant effect from wearing the Power Balance bracelets. (In the obstacle course times, the genuine bracelet actually scored slightly worse , though not statistically significantly worse.)
Our initial conclusion is that Power Balance bracelets have no discernable effect when the wearer doesn't know if he has one on or not. In other words, the bracelet itself doesn't seem to be doing anything.
As a sort of rabbit's foot to be worn to boost one's confidence, the bracelet might have some value, but as a boon to one's athletic prowess, Power Balance bracelets are a bust.

Fertility Surprises Portend A More Populous Future
By Worldwatch Institute
10 July, 2013
Washington, D.C.---World population reached 7.2 billion in mid-2013, according to United Nations demographers, with present and projected future growth propelled in part by unexpectedly high fertility in a number of developing countries. Based on current trends in global birth, death, and migration rates, the UN Populations Division projects a variety of future scenarios, with the three principal ones suggesting that world population will be somewhere between 6.8 billion and 16.6 billion at the end of this century. In the Worldwatch Institute's latest Vital Signs Online trend, President Robert Engelman discusses these latest projections and what they mean for the environment (www.worldwatch.org).
The UN demographers determined that 82.1 million people were added to the world's population in 2012----the highest annual increment since 1994. The new report, World Population Prospects: The 2012 Revision, dispels a widespread expectation that population growth would end "on its own" sometime in the second half of the twenty-first century. Rather, the new medium-fertility or best-guess scenario suggests the most likely outcome is that world could gain more than 10 million people in the year 2100 and close the century at 10.9 billion. The new projections suggest a global population of 9.6 billion by 2050----about 700 million people more than the 8.9 billion the UN Population Division had projected for 2050 just 10 years ago.
"Although the biggest surprise in the report came from the projections of faster future population growth than had been expected, these numbers actually have their roots in a surprise about the present," said Engelman. "Women in many developing countries are having more children today than UN demographers previously thought."
Indeed, the UN authors reported that they had raised by a full 5 percent their estimates of current fertility in 15 sub-Saharan African countries----including Nigeria, Niger, Ethiopia, and the Congo----where family size is already among the highest in the world.
Although the reasons behind the higher-than-expected fertility in many countries are not fully understood, they correlate well with recent government reluctance to give priority to and fund family planning services in some of the world's poorest countries. Spending on family planning services in developing countries by governments, wealthier donor governments and intergovernmental agencies has stagnated in recent years at around $4 billion annually. More than twice that is needed to reach the estimated 222 million women who are sexually active and do not want to become pregnant but are not using contraception. About two out of five pregnancies worldwide are unintended----in industrial countries as well as developing ones----and more than one in five births worldwide results from such pregnancies.
On perhaps the most positive note in the new projections, UN Population Division demographers believe that every country in the world is currently experiencing a longer life expectancy in the 2010-to-2015 period than between 2000 and 2010. They project continued improvement in life expectancy throughout the century, when all the new projection scenarios agree that life expectancy for the world will average 82 years, up from 70 years today.
Yet this rosy assessment of global longevity nine decades from now does not take into account changing environmental conditions worldwide. The UN demographers, like others who produce major population projections, decline to factor in the possibility that mortality trends will vary from recent history, making no mention of possible downward shifts in life expectancy due to climate change or any other environmental impacts of human activities.
Further highlights from the report:
>> The new report estimates that the world's population is growing at about 1.15 percent annually, and----despite the higher-than-anticipated fertility in many countries----that the growth rate is continuing to slow.
>> Most human beings----an even 60 percent----live in Asia, with Africa the second most populous region, followed by Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America, and Oceania.
>> Approximately 96 percent of the growth is occurring in developing countries, with Asia accounting for 54 percent of that growth.
>> The new UN "most likely" population projection foresees not just a long-lived human population of 10.9 billion in 2100 but one of 4.2 billion in Africa with a life expectancy of 77 years compared with 58 today.

Advocating for student financial aid isn't easy. Just ask Matt Nadler and Kalene Faricellie.
Last week, the Niagara University Student Government Association representatives, clad in their Sunday best, slipped out of a day of classes - OK, that part wasn't that bad - to traverse 300 miles to the state Capitol in Albany in hopes of bending the ears of lawmakers who control funding for the Tuition Assistance Program, Pell grants, Bundy Aid and other forms of financial assistance.
NU annually enlists a handful of students to participate in the New York Student Aid Alliance Advocacy Day, an initiative coordinated by the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities. This year, only Nadler and Faricellie were available to advocate for the value of state student aid programs.
This comes at a time when the importance of state aid may be more pronounced than ever. Approximately 46 percent of Niagara University students receive TAP with an average award size of about $2,100. Statewide, half of New Yorkers attending college as full-time undergraduates use TAP funds to help meet their college expenses.
At the same time, more than 35 percent of Niagara University students are eligible for a Pell Grant, reserved for families with less than $30,000 in annual income.
Cumulatively, 98 percent of incoming NU freshmen receive some form of financial aid.
Those figures headed the list of reasons Nadler, the NUSGA president, volunteered to make the expedition downstate. He and Faricellie are TAP beneficiaries.
"Serving as student government president, it was a great opportunity for me to bring my advocacy efforts to Albany. I was able to lobby members of both houses on the importance of TAP and other state aid to Niagara University students," noted the senior political science major from New Rochelle. "As a member of the Niagara University community, I was able to show many legislators that this (financial aid) is something that our university strongly believes in. Niagara is a university that truly cares about its students, and state aid is a great way to ensure that students will be able to experience the excellent experience that is Niagara University for years to come."
Upon arriving at the Capitol, Nadler, Faricellie, Mary Borgognoni, associate vice president for academic affairs, and Michael Freedman, associate director of public relations, convened with hundreds of students, faculty and staff from more than 45 colleges and universities. The kickoff program included remarks from aid recipients as well as political proponents such as cIcu president Laura Anglin and Assemblywoman Deborah Glick, chair of the committee on higher education.
"I am thrilled to see so many students who have come to the Capitol to make their voices heard and stand up for student financial aid," Glick said from a podium in the Legislative Office Building. "You must also raise your voices in your own communities so that your legislators know how important these programs are. Keep up your visibility and we'll keep up our end of the bargain."
TAP, New York's largest grant program, helps eligible New York residents attending in-state postsecondary institutions pay for tuition. Depending on the academic year in which the student begins study, an annual TAP award can be up to $5,000, depending on the applicant's and his/her family's taxable state income. Because TAP is a grant, it does not have to be paid back.
While Gov. Andrew Cuomo's preliminary budget did not propose any new cuts to TAP, sustaining current levels of undergraduate financial aid is a considered a win to many, particularly in these unsettled economic times.
Meanwhile, Bundy Aid, named after the Bundy Commission that instated it, provides direct unrestricted financial support to independent postsecondary institutions in New York. Presently, Niagara receives an estimated $350,000 annually in Bundy appropriations, all of which is used to support student financial aid.
NU issued more than $36 million in federal, state and institutional financial aid in 2012-13.
While in Albany, the Niagara representatives met with State Sen. Mark Grisanti, State Sen. George Maziarz (NU Class of 1976), and aides to State Sen. Patrick Gallivan, Assemblyman Ray Walter and Assemblywoman Amy Paulin.
Faricellie called her first trip to the Capitol and meeting with state legislators the "opportunity of a lifetime."
"From exploring the beautiful architecture of the Capitol to listening in on how the Assembly discusses important issues, I am eternally grateful for this opportunity," remarked the East Amherst native studying business at NU. "Throughout my time at the Capitol, I learned a lot, made significant connections and, by sharing my story, I feel that I have made a difference. This experience has been eye-opening, insightful and truly inspirational. I would encourage any student that is given this amazing opportunity to participate and share your story!"

A dozen state senators urged New York's education commissioner on Thursday to delay the further rollout of the new Common Core learning standards, citing frustration and complaints by parents, teachers and administrators. They also threatened to force changes by law if there's no relief.
At the Senate Education Committee hearing, Commissioner John King Jr. said some complaints are conflating the curriculum itself adopted by 45 states with other issues including testing, teacher evaluations and data collection security.
"The rollout was bad and children are being hurt," said Sen. Ken LaValle, describing the upshot of the complaints. The Suffolk County Republican said he attended a local meeting about the education changes attended by 800 people that got "quite raucous" and that there have been similar turnouts across the state.
King responded to the requests for delays by saying the need for the academic improvement the standards offer is still "urgent." He acknowledged "uneven" implementation by the state's 700 school districts and 4,500 schools in the "massive undertaking." He promised more adjustments in state guidance, and noted they have already made some and are seeking federal waivers of assessment requirements for students with disabilities and for whom English is a second language.
There's little disagreement among stakeholders over the curriculum's main components of more writing, more challenging reading, and math that has real world applications, King said. It's meant to prepare them better for college and careers. "Good things are happening in classrooms in terms of Common Core instruction," he said.
Most of the standardized tests given statewide are required by federal law, King said. He added that there are no standardized state tests given to students from kindergarten through second grade, though some districts may do it. Delaying teacher evaluations would be a mistake, and changing that statutory requirement would be up to the Legislature and governor, he said.
Sen. Carl Marcellino, another Long Island Republican, said the Education Department needs to give teachers time to catch up and learn the new requirements and curriculum before having to teach it. Changing questions on the required state regents exams to follow the new curriculum is "a disaster waiting to happen," one with implications for students' grades and college admissions, he said.
The first time students will be required to pass the Common Core regents exams will be in 2017, or seven years after the state adopted the curriculum, King said. Last year, a majority of the students entering New York's community colleges had to take remedial courses, showing the need for the changes, he said.
Other senators recited complaints about parents now unable to help their children with homework, worries about the security of student data held by a private contractor and to leave alone high-performing schools that graduate nearly all of their students who mostly go on to graduate from four-year colleges.
King said districts that are succeeding can keep doing that and simply incorporate some of the new material. He supports increasing funding for teachers' professional development, which is also up to the Legislature and governor, he said.

In a bid to protect its reputation as a "trusted financial centre", Singapore is clamping down on foreigners who evade taxes by shifting money to its banks.
In a deal announced by the Singapore government and visiting German finance minister Wolfgang Schauble on Sunday, both countries will incorporate the latest Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development standards on exchanging information in their double taxation accord.
When the accord is ratified in both countries, authorities will share information about all forms of tax, not just income and capital taxes, the German ministry added.

Banking secrecy will not constitute an obstacle to exchanging information.
According to media reports, growing evidence suggest that wealthy German citizens are moving their funds to Singapore ahead of a new German-Swiss tax treaty that will take effect next year.
As part of the tax treaty, the Swiss government will withhold taxes due on German accounts in Swiss banks, but will not provide German authorities with the names of the account holders.
Germans hold an estimated 180 billion euros ($232 billIon) in Swiss banking accounts.

Singapore's central bank said in August it had warned banks last year to guard against funds being transferred into the island state to evade taxation elsewhere, with an eye to new tax treaties being implemented in Europe.
Last week, the Monetary Authority of Singapore announced plans to penalise banks that facilitated tax evasion, designating tax crimes as money laundering "predicate offences." This brings Singapore into line with new requirements announced in February by the Paris-based Financial Action Task Force designating tax crimes as money laundering offences.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore said this was to "discourage the entry of tax evasion monies into our financial system and protect Singapore's reputation as a trusted financial centre" and added that "Singapore is fully committed to safeguard its financial system from being used to harbour proceeds from tax crimes."

(Firstly, begin by making small touches first to familiarize yourself with the application process.), Don't worry for application errors, by using blending solution, you can remove the paint from the retouched area and start over the application.
Step 2 - Blending solutionWait 4-5 minutes for the paint to dry after retouching, then pour the mixture solution in small quantities on POLYTEX cloth and clean with gentle pressure without pressing too much the overflowing paints from the touch-up area. Note that you can also remove the paint on the scratch while cleaning the overflowing paints on the deep and non-deep scratches. In the application videos of the touch up paint kit, you can see how deep and non-deep scratches work on stone chips.
Step 3 - WaxWait approximately 20 minutes after steps 1 and 2 are completed, pour in small quantities of polish onto the microfiber cloth to apply polish on the touch up paint area and apply it to the area you touch and around.
- You can repeat the steps above to repair the deeper scratches.
- You can remove the touch-up paint at any time using the blending solution. So, you have no possibility to make mistakes.
- Because of the cold weather that will accelerate the drying process of paint, it will be difficult to touch up. It is recommended to apply in environments warmer than 0 degrees.
Customer Reviews
It came in three days. The paint is exact match to my car and easy to use.
The product keeps a nice color but there was a slight difference between the color of the paint and the color of my car because it is old and it is almost impossible to see the color difference after a few days of retouching. It's a very successful product.
It's unbelievable that the express cargo is free, price product performance is very good thanks Paint2fix.
My order arrived in 3 days, same day I did retouch in my garage, the scratch was quite deep, the first retouch did not close, I made another application on the retouch after 4 and 5 days as written in the instruction manual and I did this a few more times and closed the scratch completely
I'm a Corvette owner at 30 years old, I had doubts about the paint color before the order but Paint2Fix sent the same paint as my car color. I've fixed a lot of scratches and stone chipping.
The retouch paint works and also the blending solution removes the stains and friction marks very fast, it's a very good product.
Thank you for sending it at light speed, the packaging of the product, the appearance of the content is incredibly beautiful and also really works, I would like to recommend and thank to those who made the Paint2Fix
John here from UK, I got it in 2 days with free express cargo, incredible, very good quality according to the price of the product.
The important thing was that paint matched perfectly Decent quality result. Not exactly a professional job, but covers the blemishes.
Good color match,I did a good job in following the directions to the tee, and it was like a professional did it , thanks.
As good as you're going to getI have brought several of these kits for a bunch of cars. Bottom line is no paint repair is going to be perfect unless you are having the body shop do a re-spray. But the Paint2Fix product is pretty good. It fills the chip ever so slightly with paint that you buff off the excess with a chemical sealer. If you have a deep chip you repeat the process a few times until it's as good as you can get it. If you're searching for your chip repair after completing it, you will likely still find it up close. But a foot or two away it blends right in.
I appreciate that I could input what type of vehicle I own and the site showed all paint color options.
I have used your products before I always get a good match on the color and the various sizes offered give me great flexibility to only order what I need.
Great price. Easy layout. Honest and simple answers. Loved my experience here. Now I am excited to see the finished job from these products!
Great website and easy to find exactly what you need to touch up chips and scratches. Will definitely use again.

Get ready to explain a principal preservation strategy for retirement plans, if the summer stock market doldrums return.
Experienced investment advisors know that it is much harder to hold their client's attention during the summer months.
When the weather gets warm and the kids and grandkids are out of school, advisors struggle for their clients' attention. Even the most routine investment-management decisions become a bother when "summer mode" takes over.
In Minnesota, where I'm based, summer months include time spent at our world famous cabins. Everyone is the state has access to a summer cabin. Most native Minnesotans have access to multiple cabins on any summer weekend.
If I had a nickel for every e-mail that I received from a client's smart phone that stated "at cabin," I would already be retired. (Of course, I would retire to my cabin.)
My top investment-management priority is to let my clients enjoy their all-too-short summer months with family and friends. And to do that, I provide my clients with investment piece of mind.
Interest rates are around all-time lows. The stock markets are around all-time highs. A summer 2013 reversal of either of these markets could move multiple investment positions in the wrong direction.
My client e-mail and phone communications include a reminder of the logical, organized and disciplined game plan that's in place. There are stop losses, for instance, in order to preserve hard-earned investment gains.
Those communications contain the disclaimer that the stock and bond market risk-management game plan includes all the individual company retirement-plan account positions in the client household.
Protecting the Next Egg
Advisors that I network with around the country realize that the company 401(k), 403(b), or 457(b) retirement-plan accounts are the largest and most neglected investment positions in their client household financial assets.
More and more advisors are going through the process of including individual company retirement-plan accounts in the asset they manage for existing clients.
Advisors who provide company retirement-plan advice have seen their client assets under management explode. They have also enjoyed great prospecting success with other key executives who also work at their client's companies.
Bill Good taught me in 1986 that the best prospecting lists are the ones "on which wordof mouth can occur." Twenty seven years later I am teaching that same timely prospecting strategy to other advisors.
Stock markets are sure to fall some time. And history reminds us that stock markets fall at a much faster rate than they rise.
Interest rates were supposed to already have risen by now. The next great fixed-income investment management decision is coming.
This summer, your client contacts need a game plan for a falling stock market and/or rising interest rates.
Make sure that the individual company retirement plan accounts are part of that game plan.

VANCOUVER — The father of a man gunned down in a busy Vancouver shopping district five years ago isn't sure that newly-released video of his son's final moments will change the outcome.
Const. Lee Chipperfield, the officer who fired nine shots at Paul Boyd, including the final shot to the head, didn't face criminal charges and wasn't disciplined.
But investigators didn't have the advantage of a bystander's video. That only came to light recently.
The new information prompted the B.C. government to ask the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team to re-open the investigation.
"I can't see how this will result in another conclusion, although I'd very much like to see Const. Chipperfield removed from the police force. I feel his conduct was not worthy of a police officer," David Boyd, Paul's father, said in an interview.
The B.C. Civil Liberties Association said the video proves Boyd wasn't a threat as the already-injured man crawled on his hands and knees across the street towards police.
Police had been called to the busy intersection in August 2007 after a 911 call and were confronted by Boyd, who witnesses said was swinging a bike chain.
Boyd had bipolar disorder and had not taken his medication that day.
The dark and shaky video shows 49 seconds of a confrontation where an officer reaches down and picks up the chain, and a groaning Boyd crawls towards officers who are in a shooting stance.
The camera jerks upward just before the final shot is fired.
Chipperfield testified at a coroner's inquest that he believed Boyd was still armed when he fired the fatal shot to the man's head.
The inquest heard that eight of the nine shots he fired hit Boyd over an 80-second period.
The Crown ruled against laying charges against the officer and the B.C. Police Complaint commissioner ruled Chipperfield was suffering from what is called "inattentional blindness," a condition where his intense emotional reaction combined with his restricted focus impaired his abilities to see the whole scenario.
Boyd wasn't surprised by what he saw on the video, after piecing the event together from witnesses at the coroners' inquest.
"The fact that it fit together with what I had in my mind was really remarkable. I imagined Paul crawling, I didn't imagine he would have so much vitality left, he seemed to be crawling very rapidly.
"But the fact that he was crawling was disturbing, that they would still be feeling that a man crawling towards them was a threat."
Danny Antonucci, a colleague and friend of Paul Boyd, said he hopes the video will finally lead to some answers and some accountability.
"I still, after five years, do not understand this. And I don't understand why there hasn't been some sort of justice brought upon this," said Antonucci, an animator who worked alongside Boyd until the day he was killed.
"That video is absolutely heartbreaking. It's heartbreaking. To see Paul crawling on his hands and knees and to have some ignorant person shoot a gun into his head, I mean, it's just insane.
"And I'm in the business where I'm supposed to be making people laugh all day long."
Three police officers told the inquest they still felt threatened by Boyd after he was shot and crawling towards the cops.
But the video shows a police officer next to Boyd bending down and picking up the chain before the final, deadly, shot was fired.
Antonucci said in the years since his friend died, he's lost all faith in the justice system and said Boyd's case — and the emergence of a key bystander video — reminds him of the death of Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver's airport.
In that case, RCMP maintained they shot an armed, delirious man before a witness video showed Dziekanski wielded only a stapler before he was zapped by a police Taser within seconds of officers arriving on the scene.
"With all the situations that have happened, the fellow at the airport, of police deaths of people dying within the police realms," said Antonucci. "It's just a really scary scenario."
The Crown ruled out charges against the officer in Boyd's case and the B.C. Police Complaint Commission found too many conflicting versions to proceed with disciplinary action against Chipperfield.
But the new video prompted Attorney General Shirley Bond to have the case sent to the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team, an independent agency that handles cases of serious injury or death involving Alberta officers.
Clifton Purvis, the director of the Alberta team, said his entire Calgary team of nine members is working on the investigation.
He agreed the video had the potential to shore up witness accounts and discount others.
He said the investigation will likely take months.
Antonucci said he has never believed his friend's death was properly probed and said he is glad there is another effort to get answers.
He noted he and his co-workers knew of Boyd's condition and knew how to handle him if he hadn't taken his medication.
"Why couldn't the police?"

Hewitt builds his perfect player:
IF LLEYTON Hewitt was suddenly equipped with the divine powers to construct the perfect tennis player, only five men would be used as building blocks.
All of them have won grand slams.
All of them have beaten, and lost, to Hewitt.
Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Pat Rafter and Pete Sampras are the components in Hewitts world-beating prototype.
Tennis neophytes armed with shallow opinion rather than fact might question Hewitts qualifications to comment on Agassi and Sampras.
Not so.
Hewitt defeated both men before the champion Americans won their final majors.
It is clear Sampras, Agassi and Rafter left a deep impression on Hewitt in the formative stages of the South Australians barnstorming career.
Just as Nadal and Federer have over the past five years.
The serve. Pete Sampras would have to be up there when he was on, especially his second serve, said Hewitt, winner of Wimbledon and US Open singles crowns.

Hewitt faces tough test
The Daily Telegraph, 26 Jun 2010.End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.
Returns. Andre, hes got to be up there.
Forehand. Its between Rafa and Roger. Totally different forehands, thats the hard thing.
Backhand. Rafa, at the moment, has got a pretty good backhand for his style of play.
Volley. Its probably between Pete (Sampras) and Pat (Rafter).
Slice backhand. It would have to be Rog.
Theres so much variation on his slice, he can use it as a defensive shot and an offensive shot extremely well.
Hes able to come into the net off it and hes able to bring his opponent in on it.
Top-spin backhand. Rafa or Agassi.
There are two areas where Hewitt could easily have nominated himself.
Return of serve and movement.
Injuries to Hewitt and corresponding advances in fi tness and technique have seen Nadal and Federer take movement to new levels of excellence as Hewitt has been forced to cede his reputation as the fastest man in the game.
In terms of movement, its Roger and Rafa in a lot of ways, he said.
Roger is a little bit more of a fluent mover, but Rafa gets to more balls by sort of grinding and standing a long way back and whatever.
Whereas Rogers movement is more like Petes. They were sort of like a cat, just sort of gliding across the court, cutting off angles extremely well. (Novak) Djokovic moves extremely well, (Andy) Murray moves well.
Hewitt lost 15 matches in a row to Federer after winning seven of his first nine against the Swiss.
Apart from outrageous talent and textbook technique, Hewitt says Federers most bankable asset is intangible.
The X factor.
Roger is the guy thats been able to change his game up the most, purely because he doesnt give you a lot of rhythm most of the time, Hewitt said.
Hes sort of changed tennis.
There are a lot of guys out there now (Tomas) Berdych, (Marcos) Baghdatis and (Fernando) Gonzalez who can hit through anything, hit extremely hard. (Juan Martin) Del Potro, guys like that.
But Roger is able to nullify their pace by using different shots, different shot selections and spin.
Whereas Rafa has sort of got his A-game and sticks to it the whole time, Roger is actually able to do a lot of different things.

Seems everyone is lining up for a government handout, but in the case of the porn industry, you may wonder where the hands have been.
TMZ is reporting that Hustler's Larry Flynt and "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis are asking for a $5 billion federal bailout of adult entertainment because "the economy has made America's appetite for sex go limp."
The Web site claims adult DVD sales are down 22 percent in a year, numbers which are sure to deflate expectations at this weekend's AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas.
Porn may not be as recession-proof as originally thought. Not only are people spending less, but there's a lot of free competition available.
TMZ says Joe Francis, hounded by legal troubles, plans to go to Congress to ask for his own ... stimulus package. "Francis sees his industry like the big three automakers, only BIGGER" says TMZ. "Sounds like someone has a bone to pick."
Gee. Where to put that $5 billion? Subsidize silicone? Provide consumer incentives ("buy one, get one free")? Zero-percent financing to shoot the next installment of "Lex the Impaler"?
Times have apparently gotten so tough that Larry Flynt is now suing his nephews. Today's Los Angeles Times reports that Flynt has filed a trademark infringement suit against Dustin Flynt and Jimmy Flynt II, brothers who formed Flynt Media to release such adult films as "Positive Exposure" and "Sex at Your Service." The elder Flynt is concerned that "knock-off goods" will dilute the power of his brand. "To come into the adult entertainment business and use my name not only confuses people who buy my products, but if they're not maintaining a certain quality, it could also hurt my name," he tells the LA Times.
The nephews say they have every right to use their own name, and Dustin Flynt tells the Times he believes his uncle is dealing with "inferiority issues." Apparently growing up in the porn biz isn't as invigorating as it sounds. "I spent a lot of blood, flesh and tears working directly for my family," says Dustin Flynt, "and it wasn't easy."

ESPN Just Doesn't Care About This 'Journalism' Crap
In your essential Tuesday media column: ESPN anchors in shameless sellout agreement, NPR is not going to die, Lawrence O'Donnell howls at the moon, Here Media loses in court, Mothering magazine folds its print edition, and we help The Daily.
- Three ESPN broadcasters—Lee Corso, Chris Fowler, and Kirk Herbstreit—have endorsement deals with Nike, the New York Times reveals today, in a report that makes ESPN look like a bunch of fucking clowns. That's even worse than, say, an MSNBC host signing a marketing deal with Starbucks. The network says that Fowler will end his deal (no word on the other two guys), but that "Their content has not been compromised by this relationship." I guess the joke is on me for maintaining the illusion that ESPN still produces "journalism." Stupid me!
- There have been plenty of alarming official statements flying out of NPR over the past couple of days, since Republicans proposed zeroing out their federal funding. It's highly, HIGHLY doubtful that that would be allowed to happen, so let's all calm down, okay? (That means stop forwarding emails about this to family members.)
- Lawrence O'Donnell is feuding with Bill O'Reilly. Eh.
- Last year, we pointed out that Regent/ Here Media was a colossal deadbeat with a sickening habit of not paying its vendors and freelancers. A good news follow-up: one vendor has just successfully won a judgment for more than $23,000 from Here Media, for back payments plus interest. All it takes is a lawsuit!
- Mothering magazine is going online-only, after 35 years as a print publication.
- Found: the richest man in South Dakota. Hey, someone should write a story about that guy.

If there was one question Stephen Dank could have answered during his radio interview with friend and former Adelaide Crows coach Graham Cornes on Tuesday night, it was this.
Dank was asked whether he could detail what peptides had been given to the Essendon players during the club's 2011-12 supplements program. He was asked specifically about Thymosin beta 4, the banned drug the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority alleges was given to the 34 former and current players.
Dank's response: "Obviously, I can't because of the impending court action."
Well, that's not right. According to lawyers consulted by Fairfax Media on Wednesday, if Dank knew categorically what had been administered, and those drugs were not prohibited, then there was nothing which could "prevent or inhibit" him clearing up the question those interested in this saga want to know.
Instead, Dank provided a general response, declaring all drugs had been WADA approved, leaving listeners to wonder yet again where things really sat in this football (and political) mess.
This appears to be the lie of the land. Dank has told the Australian Crime Commission he had not administered anything illegal, declaring last year "they said they didn't think that I'd done anything wrong". The players are of the belief they were given nothing illegal but, if they had, it was only because they had been duped.
The Bombers share that view. Last year's AFL charge sheet listed 16 supplements (one redacted) given to the players. But there is still some confusion over whether players were given Thymosin beta 4 or the legal Thymomodulin (a spreadsheet detailing the use of Thymomodulin was found on Dank's computer at Essendon).
Dank, himself, told Fairfax Media's Nick McKenzie that he had given the players Thymosin beta 4 but was then shocked to be told by McKenzie it was on the banned list. ASADA has sought this transcript, sparking questions about just how strong is its case against the players – and Dank.
This is sure to be scrutinised in a book on the Essendon mess that one closer observer is seeking funds to write under the working title of: Black Optics – The Darkest Days of Australian Sport And Administration.
Dank also took aim at the club's damning internal report conducted by former Telstra chief Ziggy Switkowski last season. Dank was not interviewed or asked to contribute to the report.
Switkowski described the program as a "pharmacologically experimental environment". While this doesn't necessarily mean there were illegal concoctions, it surely doesn't sound good. Going on that report, and where the Bombers now stand in that they believe nothing illegal was administered, it could appear the club is having a bob each way.
Switkowski did not wish to comment when contacted on Wednesday.
Dank wants his day in court because he claims it's unfair he is subjected to ASADA's burden of proof laws, he having been issued with a show-cause notice. In court, it will be up to ASADA to prove he is guilty of any alleged breach. That is Dank's right but if the Bombers and Hird lose their cases against ASADA in the Federal Court, players almost certainly will then have to prove why they should not be placed on the Register of Findings, the first step towards an infraction notice.
If that does happen, Dank challenging ASADA through the courts will be of little comfort to the players.
Dank says there has been a "clear breach of what ASADA is supposed to do" as the names of the club, players and drugs had been made public. In that regard, he has a point.
Clearly, there have been governance failures by all parties.
Dank, for his part, says he has no regrets, and "to be perfectly honest, I have got better things to do with my life than have to submerge myself amongst all of this" .
Wonder how the players, their families, the AFL, the Bombers and even James Hird feel about that? This is an issue that AFL chief Gillon McLachlan, who could yet be caught up in the court action alleging an unlawful joint probe, and chief medical officer Peter Harcourt stress involves the health and welfare of the players. This is an issue that has hijacked another AFL season. It has cost the Bombers millions of dollars in fines and legal fees, and Hird a one-year suspension and a personal need to challenge the process in the courts.
McLachlan, rightly, wants his focus, and that of the 18 clubs, including Essendon, to return purely to football matters. Unfortunately, that won't happen for some time yet.

Breckenridge gaining new trail in Golden Horseshoe area
summit daily news
Breckenridge Golden Horseshoe trail network will gain a new trail Aug. 4-5 with the help of some 150 volunteers.
Originally constructed during Summit County's historic mining era, the trail network will construct its new trail by reopening a historic ditch for non-motorized recreational use.
The Galena Ditch, originally constructed approximately 100 years ago to convey water to area mines, will be reopened to accommodate hikers and mountain bikers traveling between the popular Horseshoe Dredge Trailhead and the three forks of the Swan River and the Colorado Trail.
The town of Breckenridge and Summit County jointly own a large portion of the Golden Horseshoe area, which is over 9,000 acres.
As a part of the Breckenridge Master Plan for open space, the area has an extensive existing trail network that crosses through town and county open space and sections of the White River National Forest.
"We are prioritizing this part of developing the Golden Horseshoe area because of how popular the area is for hikers and mountain bikers," said Kim Dykstra-DiLallo, spokeswoman for the town of Breckenridge.
Developing the trail will expand the area accessible by recreationalists, connecting to several other trails while navigating through some of the area's most historic mining centers, Dykstra-DiLallo said.
"Creating connectivity between these trails will allow hikers and bikers to get off of Tiger Road and onto more intimate trails," she said.
The new trail will be constructed through volunteer efforts being coordinated by Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado in partnership with the town of Breckenridge and Summit County government in early August.
"Volunteering on a project like this can be incredibly rewarding," said Andrea Sinor, spokeswoman for Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado. "The results are immediate and it's very gratifying to see a trail that you helped build with your own hands come to life, especially one that you might use as a hiker or mountain biker."
Volunteers are encouraged to spend the night because of a celebration Aug. 4 where registered volunteers will be served dinner and music will be provided by The Pine Beetles bluegrass band.
"Beyond the rewards that come with the volunteer work, an event like this provides a great opportunity to be outside, spend time with friends, meet new people and be reminded of the wonderful place we all live and the amazing resources we have available to us," Sinor said.

In this post, we wanted to give everyone an inside look into our handmade putter grip process. From start to finish it takes our professionally trained staff about 20-25 minutes to fully assemble each putter grip. 1. First, we begin by selecting which size grip underlist we are going to need for theorder. For this project we have chosen a midsize grip underlist. 2. Next, we select the leather pattern and color that we are going to use to make our grip. For this project we have selected a Brown Alligator leather. 3. We then cut our selected leather into the appropriate midsize pattern and punch holes along the edges to prepare for the hand stitching. 4. Next, we use a mild adhesive to secure the leather section into the proper position for the hand stitching process. 5. We then proceed to lace the leather piece together by hand using a brown stitch that matches the leather color. 6. Now that we have the hand stitching in place, we are ready to clean up the leather edges and any extra stitch by tucking the excess leather under the grip caps and trimming off any excess stitching. 7. At last, the grip is complete. It is then packaged and shipped out to the customer. The Ace of Clubs Golf Co., the exotic look without the exotic price. http://www.aceofclubsgolfco.com/blogs/news

What if we could let go of holiday stress? What if all our unrealistic expectations for the "perfect season" could be transformed into a spirit of celebration that truly expresses who we are and what we value?
Felt Great for the Holidays is an unconventional workshop that starts with a deceptively simple creative act: you'll craft one or more felt ornaments or small vessels by wrapping wool around a 3″ plastic ball. Color, texture, soap, and water create an environment of festivity and fun within which we'll explore anxiety and anticipation, creativity and celebration, fellowship and transformation, improvisation and surprise.
No experience is necessary for this workshop. Just bring a towel, a plastic bag, and your curiosity.

A general-purpose computer cluster forms a virtual nexus for researchers from all over campus and beyond. This Collaboratory is linked to and is part of research projects in:
The University of Missouri - St. Louis has operated a cluster computer on campus since 2001. Since this modest start in High Performance Computing, utilization has grown substantially. We are now in our second generation of cluster computing with 192 processors; we will continue to expand the resource in response to need. The cluster has made possible research spanning five academic disciplines in fields that include systems ecology and drug design. The research has generated over a dozen peer reviewed journal papers and professional conference presentations. The computational capacity forms the basis for several pending grant proposals.
UMSL is also planning an IT incubator facility on campus for early-stage IT companies. This offers an opportunity for synergistic development of the Center for High Performance Computing into a regional resource that provides capacity to the St. Louis community and local businesses in addition to the University.
